Expensive But Worth It—the Best Designer New Arrivals That Scream 2026
Happy 2026, and welcome to my first official roundup of the year. To mark the occasion and satisfy my own intrigue, I figured it would be fun to put a luxurious twist on my usual new-arrivals roundup by tapping into what our favorite designers are putting out for this fresh start. To do so, I scoured all our favorite brand and multibrand retailers' sites, and the result is a collection of It items and future It items that feel particularly 2026! I'm talking about Prada, Alaïa, Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, brand-new Jonathan Anderson for Dior, and more. Buckle up for the thrilling ride that is ahead, from sneakers and bags to jackets, dresses, and resortwear. Don't blame me if your digital wallet feels significantly lighter by the end of the day.
There are even matching pumps.
